Bible Stories: The Christmas Story

God Becomes Man [2]

Now, Joseph, her husband
found out that Mary was with child. Since he was a just man, he was
going to break off the marriage quietly and without much fuss, but
an angel appeared to him in a dream.

"Joseph, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For she
is with child of the Holy Spirit. She will bring forth a Son, and
you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their
sins."

So Joseph obeyed God and
took Mary as his wife. And she stayed a virgin until after she gave
birth to her firstborn Son.
